Philips LPC210x cheap & quick start?

I like the Rowley Associates CrossWorks package:

It's based on the GNU tools but comes with their own IDE and excellent debugger. It supports the ARM on-chip debug interface - I use it with my own JTAG hardware.

There is a very active Yahoo support group:

and a GNUARM group if you want to use the free GNU tools:

Leon

The Ashling board (we distribute it,see

comes for a reasonable price and is based on the GCC + onboard USB-jtag.

I guess any ARM pascal will work with more or less effort on this chip. But actually, I did not hear about a Pascal compiler for ARM so far.

Thanks, I will have a deeper look at it.

I came across the lpc2000 group by the

website, bit it was so unbelievable slooooooow that I couldn't retrieve any useful information. I will give it a second try. (However, web based groups are horrible anyway - a usenet group would be far more efficient...)

Thanks,

I don't know exactly which board you are referring to, but the Opella debugger looks like a useful tool for us...

This sounds like bad luck. If anyone comes across one, please let me know!

There is a GNU Pascal compiler:

It might be feasible to convert it into a cross-compiler for the ARM.

Another option is the GNU p2c translator. Actually, that might be the best way.

Notes on GNU pascal are here..

For notes on GNU Modula-2/ARM cross compiler see

and there is

Here, strannik looks intersting, it's a Multi-language system : Modula-2(Oberon-2), C(C++), Pascal - open source, so could be made into a cross compiler....[knowledge of Russian would help :)]

General lists here

and I see both GNU Modula-2 and GNU pascal recently built for the AMD 64 bit processors.

For DEBUG I'd guess GDB would be well advanced.

Thanks for the info. I will also have a look at EWARM, seems like a really cheap way to at least start with ARM programming.

Thanks for these notes. It'll take a while to read all those pages :-).

However, AFAICS, there is no ready-to-use Pascal IDE for ARM7 yet...

It is hardly efficient.

Yes but it is not widely used. /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ \/\/\/\/\ Chris Hills Staffs England /\/\/\/\/\ /\/\/ snipped-for-privacy@phaedsys.org

If it is anything like the Gnu C compiler for ARM it is hopelessly inefficient

gcc could be better, sure - but it's still good enough for serious work.
